ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
A fintech start-up is building a cloud-native payment platform using an Agile Secure SDLC. During the third sprint review, penetration testers uncover several SQL injection flaws introduced by recent changes to the authentication microservice. To detect such issues earlier while maintaining rapid iterations, the security architect wants to reinforce activities that belong to the Verify (test) phase of the Secure SDLC. Which action best satisfies this requirement?
Deploy a web application firewall in front of the staging environment to block injection attacks during sprint demos.
Integrate automated static application security testing into the CI pipeline so every code commit is scanned for flaws.
Require developers to complete a secure-coding checklist before pushing their changes to the shared repository.
Conduct threat-modeling workshops during backlog refinement to identify potential attack paths.
The Verify phase of a Secure SDLC focuses on systematically testing the code for security defects before it is released to later stages or production. Integrating automated static application security testing (SAST) into the continuous-integration pipeline scans every commit, providing rapid feedback and catching injection vulnerabilities as soon as they are introduced-an activity explicitly placed in the Verification phase of frameworks such as Microsoft SDL and the NIST SSDF.
Threat-modeling workshops belong in earlier design/backlog activities, secure-coding checklists are part of the implementation/build phase, and deploying a web application firewall is a runtime protection control that applies after code has been deployed, not during Verify.
